This is one of the tougher stories to cover when it comes to police shootings and it hits the Hot Air news desk after University of Cincinnati Police Officer Raymond Tensing was indicted on murder charges this afternoon in the death of motorist Samuel Dubose earlier this month. A grand jury has reviewed the evidence, […]

Jannell Ross of the Washington post floats the idea of a “Police Prosecutor’s Office” this week, an idea which I’m sure will be received with great approbation in SJW circles. The reason we apparently need an entirely new branch of the Justice Department at the federal or state levels is spelled out early on. It’s […]

I realize we’ve been hitting the South Carolina shooting and the disgusting, racist criminal who allegedly perpetrated the murders rather often since yesterday morning. Unfortunately, nothing as serious and tragic as this can unfold in America today without immediately becoming mired in multiple levels of political muck, generally before the first facts are even verified. […]

As you probably heard by now, while the attack on the Dallas PD headquarters was underway, CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield went on air with one of their legal analysts and chose to use a few rather… odd descriptors for the attacker. On the odd chance that you missed it, here’s the very short video and […]

Get ready, New Hampshire, because trouble may be coming your way. A Granite State resident has announced plans to host a Draw Muhammad cartoon contest, similar to the one in Garland, Texas last month. (From the local CBS affiliate) A New Hampshire man wants to defy an Islamic prohibition on depicting the prophet Muhammad in […]

File this one under the category of, “Wait. They can do that?” The case of the shooting of Tamir Rice in Cleveland by officers responding to reports of a male pointing a handgun at cars has dragged on for more than six months now. It’s obviously a complicated one and the authorities have been moving […]

The Washington Post decided to investigate and come up with a tally of all the police involved shootings for 2015, apparently to not only answer the burning demands of the public, but to pick apart the data and draw some conclusions. I was expecting a deafening volume of hyperbole out of this report – and […]

My apologies for starting off your Mothers Day with such horrible news, but two more law enforcement officers have been assassinated, this time in Mississippi. It’s barely twelve hours since the incident, but it seems as if the local police in Hattiesburg were all over the case and two suspects are already in custody. Fox […]

Thursday night turned out to be a seriously tragic episode in Baltimore, where the city is already in the grips of major unrest over the case of Freddy Gray. Ten people were shot, with three of them winding up dead and the remainder being treated for wounds of varying severity. Hearing something like that, you’re […]

The policies of appeasement currently being followed in Ferguson, Missouri have yet again produced tragic, yet wholly predictable results. Shortly after midnight, two police offers were shot while standing in front of the police station and monitoring the ongoing protests. Through some blessing, both officers survived the assassination attempt, but were hospitalized with serious injuries. […]

Leave it to our fine mainstream media to build an entire narrative based on one, off the bell curve incident. The latest case of this comes from Charles Blow at the New York Times who makes a herculean effort to show that cops are just, you know… racists. Why? Because one of the many maniacs […]

Last summer we opened the discussion about the death of James Brady and the finding by the coroner that his death was a homicide, caused by his shooting at the hands of John Hinckley Jr. during an attempt on President Reagan’s life. At the time, the media was discussing whether or not Hinckley could now […]

Not remotely the same as Michael Brown

In what is probably the last thing we needed to hear on Christmas Eve morning, there has been another shooting of a black teenager in Missouri by a police officer, only two miles from where the Michael Brown shooting took place. Eighteen year old Antonio Martin was at a gas station in Berkeley, Missouri when […]

Colin Flaherty has a column at American Thinker this week which should provide some important insight for those watching the unraveling of the relationship between America’s first responders and residents of high crime rate communities. In it, he discusses the disturbing trend of activist organizations and seemingly prefabricated crowds of protesters showing up within hours […]

This was another horrible story out of New York no matter how you look at it, but one which also demonstrated something about the rapid response team in the media brigade. A “disturbed man” by the name of Calvin Peters walked into a synagogue early this morning, stabbed a teenage Israeli student in the neck […]

In what is already being cited by the media as a flashback to the events in Furguson, there has been another shooting in the St. Lois area involving a white police officer and a black teenager. This one has several twists, however, which at least initially make it sound like a different set of circumstances. […]

There has been some rumbling in the comments section about why we haven’t had a thread on the California shooting this weekend. It’s not exactly the sort of thing I was looking forward to covering on Memorial Day weekend, but feel free to dissect it yourself in the comments. What we know so far: Some […]

Unlike the first Fort Hood mass shooting, yesterday’s tragic incident has no apparent connection with terrorism, but instead seems to be a case of mental illness. Spec. Ivan Lopez had been under evaluation for “behavioral health and mental health issues,” perhaps related to his four-month tour of duty in Iraq three years ago: Unfortunately, the […]

First, the bad news: as you’ve no doubt heard, there was another mass shooting. Nine people shot, three dead. The good news: A “person of interest has been taken into custody. DETROIT – A convicted felon who was wearing body armor when police arrested him in a Detroit suburb will be questioned in an investigation […]

This probably should have come as no surprise to anyone with a better than room temperature IQ, but I suppose somebody had to say it. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said on Sunday the suspect’s “mental illness” was a chief reason behind the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport. Appearing on CNN’s […]

While sad, I’ve no doubt that this was entirely predictable. In the wake of the shooting tragedy in Newtown, the first of the lawsuits has been filed and the plaintiffs are seeking a substantial payday. A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the […]

A man described provisionally as a “disgruntled employee” killed one other person at the Empire State Building this morning and shot several others, before being killed himself. The news broke over an hour ago, but as is usual in cases like these, the details are shifting and contradictory: Police say two people, including the gunman, […]

This story is just breaking this afternoon, so expect updates later. Details are still very sketchy, but another mass shooting has taken place. The location is a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Multiple injuries are being confirmed by officials on the scene. A Sikh temple in a suburban Milwaukee is the scene of a shooting today […]
